That arctic air is traveling over ice-free Great Lake waters and producing lake-effect snow, on Saturday only, for places like Syracuse, New York, where 3 to 5 inches of snow may accumulate.
Strong Arctic high pressure will help set the stage for a period of snow and ice for a large part of the interior Northeast as a storm affects the region from late this weekend to early this week ...
Don’t forget to check the local forecast before you hit the road: Snowfall could snarl post-Thanksgiving travel plans as 16 million are under winter alerts across the Great Lakes and the Central ...
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) is a United States information and referral center in support of polar and cryospheric research.NSIDC archives and distributes digital and analog snow and ice data and also maintains information about snow cover, avalanches, glaciers, ice sheets, freshwater ice, sea ice, ground ice, permafrost, atmospheric ice, paleoglaciology, and ice cores.
Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute has compiled ice charts dating back to 1933. Today, scientists studying Arctic sea ice trends can rely on a fairly comprehensive record dating back to 1953, using a combination of satellite records, shipping records, and ice charts from several countries.

The Arctic Ocean is the mass of water positioned approximately above latitude 65° N. Arctic Sea Ice refers to the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice. The Arctic sea ice minimum is the day in a given year when Arctic sea ice reaches its smallest extent, occurring at the end of the summer melting season, normally during September.
For now, at least, the north pole is covered in sea ice 365 days per year. If C02 emissions are reduced considerably moving forward, ice will remain in the Arctic over most summer months.
The difference between this total loss of sea ice and its 1979 state is equivalent to a trillion tons of CO 2 emissions [13] - around 40% of the 2.39 trillion tons of cumulative emissions between 1850 and 2019, [22] although around a quarter of this impact has already happened with the current sea ice loss. Relative to now, an ice-free winter ...
